As bad as this team has struggled and as much as I saw trouble with Fran as far back as four or five years ago, I just don’t think it’s fair to target Connor for his dad’s coaching short falls in coaching.
If someone has specific knowledge to support these accusations then that is one thing, other wise I think its not right to be attacking Connor like this.
I still like Fran over as a person better than I did Todd or Steve. I think all three were a mistake but from a personable perspective I would chose to hang out with Fran over the other two.
How would I feel if they fired Fran after season. I really couldn’t argue against it. I did however just last year say that if we didn’t see significant improvement by the end of next season that Fran would need to go. A few posters challenged me on that. I specifically said that, that would be the ten year mark for Fran and that is more than enough time for any coach to establish their basketball program.
If Fran goes after next season with a huge buyout at the university’s expense then Barta also has to go. I see no way around it. If the University President opposes this then she don’t need to let the hot her in the ass either.
Of course my wish would be for the new players and Connor to totally change the chemistry of this team and turn it around. At this point that looks really iffy.
